    <p>Hello and welcome to another issue of <em>This Week in Rust and WebAssembly</em>!</p>

<p><a href="https://rust-lang.org">Rust</a> is a systems language pursuing the trifecta: safety, concurrency, and speed.</p>

<p><a href="http://webassembly.org">WebAssembly</a> is a stack-based virtual machine and instruction set. It is fast, safe, portable, and part of the open Web platform. By compiling to WebAssembly, we can run Rust code on the Web!</p>

<p>This is a weekly summary of Rust and WebAssembly’s progress and community.</p>
